About

Hey!! I'm Kari and I'm so glad you stopped by to check out my little corner of the world! I love to talk about all kinds of random things - my sweet and dear hubby {David}, my cute little bundle of joy {Ally - my beagle mix}, my home, vacation, clothes, shoes, makeup, beauty products {can you tell I'm a girly girl?}, decorating, and so many other things I like to think people love to read about and hear what I have to say! I am by no means an expert on any of the above topics, but I like to pretend!

This is my second blog and I am going to TRY and attempt to keep this one up and going. Check out my first one here. I wanted a fun and catchy name for my blog and one night when I couldn't fall asleep, I decided to think about some ideas. This just caused me to stay awake even longer :) I wanted a name that had meaning but would still be "cutesy" - is that word? I decided on Cupcakes and Bling because a)I ♥ cupcakes and bling and 2)When David proposed he put the ring inside of a cupcake trinket box. Such a sweet guy! (Did you notice when I listed the reasons I put a) and then 2) - my hubby does this all the time when explaining things to try and be funny so I did that for him - I can be sweet too!)

I am married to the love of my life. We met in 2009 {on mySpace} and married on September 3, 2011. He is my best friend and I like to think I am his best friend too :) We have the most adorable dog, Ally. We adopted her in July of 2011 from a local shelter. She was only 5 pounds. Now, 55 pounds later, she is a handful! She's a beagle mix - I'm sure I will be posting lots of pictures of her in the future :)

I work in the healthcare industry as a Credentialing Specialist. I've been working on the business side of the medical field for almost 7 years now. I work with some amazing girls! (One of them told me to mention them in my blog so I had to throw that in!) Actually, they ARE amazing and I'm sure I will be blogging about them in the future :)

David works in the golf industry - he has been for the past 14 years. We have been together for almost 3 years and he has yet to buy me clubs or take me golfing - I think he's just scared I will be better than him!! He DID take me miniature golfing which I totally kicked his butt at! At least that's how I remember it!! :)

For those of you that don't know, David & I met on MySpace in July of 2009. Yes, that's right...MySpace! Crazy, I know!! After about a week of talking online and on the phone, David drove down to meet me in my hometown and we walked around the lake until the next morning! Now I look back and think "What if he was a crazy person??" Well he was definitely not a crazy person, so we did the long distance thing for 7 months and then in February 2010, I made the move to OKC and we moved in together. We don't like to waste any time! ;-) We still act like we did when we first started dating...it's kind of sickening how much in love we are!! Yes, we're *that* couple! :-)

Halloween Treats

For work gifts this year, I used these free printables  and these free printables  to make these cute little treats!  I had a lot of fun making them.  I dragged my poor mom and David around to so many stores looking for different colored Tic Tacs and eyeball candy.  I wanted very badly to make the Vampire Vitamins...who knew it would be so hard to find red Tic Tacs! I also made this easy Halloween Bark. What You Need:   1 Package Halloween Oreos Candy Corn 2 Packages Wilton Candy Melts in White Halloween Sprinkles - I ended up using different sprinkles than the ones in the picture...a girl has a right to change her mind, right? Pretzels - I stole these out of our Trick-or-Treat bowl because I felt like it needed something to offset all the sweetness. 1. Crumble up the Oreos.  I crushed some by hand, some in my food processor and broke some in halves and some in fourths.  Spread out on cookie sheet over wax/parchment paper.  Sprinkle candy corn

Nail Files and a Giveaway

Today I'm linking up with Tara and Vicki  for their fabulous linkup party, The Nail Files. Essie : Turquoise and Caicos Julep : Ivy Annnnd...I'm doing something a little special for my readers today - a nail polish giveaway!!  I am admittedly copying Christina over at Easily Entertained .  :) She recently did a nail polish giveaway (that I missed out on..boo) and I thought what a GREAT way to get rid of some of my overflowing collection of polishes!!! You will win 8 bottles of nail polish including brands: OPI, CHI, Ulta, Avon, 2 Glitter Pots from Julep, and an Ulta Lipgloss! I apologize for the lighting - I will try to get a better picture and upload it. All of these polishes are slightly used (maybe 2 or 3 times) except for the CHI brand and the green Ulta one - those have never been used.  The glitter pots and the lipgloss are also brand spankin' new. a Rafflecopter giveaway
